Regardless of if an implement is as sharp as a kitchen knife, or as puncturing as a bullet, the damage it will cause is classified as ''Brute Damage''. Due to this wide range of applying forces, Brute Damage is inevitably the most common form of damage, and proper treatment thereof is crucial. A patient suffering from enough Brute Damage will visually have large bloody red streaks on their body or massive purple-red bruises, and an examination will confirm this. Brute damage is often treated by [[Guide_to_chemistry#Bicardine|Bicardine]] injections through the Sleeper Pods, or through the application of [[Guide_to_chemistry#Styptic_Powder|Styptic Powder]] and other advanced medicines to the afflicted areas, which is made in [[Chemistry_Lab|Chemistry]], which is attached to the Medical lobby. Your starter First Aid Kit also has a pile of Bruise Packs inside it, which can be applied to injured areas to heal their Brute Damage immediately, though these run out quickly.

The second most common type of damage is ''Burn Damage''. This is caused by a multitude of sources, from fire and inhospitably high (or low) temperatures to laser blasts to standing in space unprotected. Burn Damage visually manifests as grey streaks on a person's body, which can be hard to see on more thoroughly dressed up individuals. Burn damage is often treated by [[Guide_to_chemistry#Kelotane|Kelotane]] injections through the Sleeper Pods or the application of [[Guide_to_chemistry#Silver_Sulfadiazine|Silver Sulfadiazine]] and other advanced medicines. Your started First Aid Kit also has two tubes of Ointment inside it, which can be applied to injured areas to heal their Burn Damage immediately, though these run out quickly.
